World Gone Wild is a 1988 science fiction film directed by Lee H. Katzin, and starring Bruce Dern, Catherine Mary Stewart and Michael Paré.

The isolated town of Lost Wells, an outpost that survived the holocaust, is led by Ethan, a Moses-like guru and the last schoolteacher on the planet, Angie.

As the villagers are no match for Derek's brute military force, they hire mercenaries living in a distant city.
